Roman Reigns reacts to former Universal Champion joining SmackDown, sends a message to Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes

On this week's episode of WWE SmackDown, Roman Reigns reacted to Kevin Owens being drafted to the blue brand. He also addressed Jey Uso and Cody Rhodes.

Jey recently jumped ship to Monday Night RAW from Friday Night SmackDown. Replacing him on the blue brand was Owens, who is no longer part of his tag team with Sami Zayn.

The Prizefighter was revealed as the newest member of SmackDown by new General Manager Nick Aldis. The former immediately hit Dominik Mysterio with a stunner.

Backstage, Reigns was furious with Owens joining his brand. He also didn't appreciate Jey teaming up with Rhodes, as he has had issues with both superstars.

Reigns, who also confronted Jimmy on SmackDown, asked the former tag team champion to deal with his brother. The Head of the Table is on the back of a successful title defense over Jey at SummerSlam.
